Description

Linnaea Vineyards is no typical wine producer, blending the passion of Melbourne-based winemaker Michelle Edwards with the science-smarts of agricultural scientist Daniel Fischl. And now the pair are crafting beautiful wines from Nebbiolo grapes grown in Piedmont, Italy.

The Linnaea approach sees Michelle and Daniel seeking small batches of quality fruit to showcase specific regions from around the world. 2019 was the first year they elected to move outside of Barolo for the Trifulau and the first official vintage of the new high-altitude hillside Monferrato DOC designation. Colder in climate than the site of their Barolos, they chose to feature the softer side of the Nebbiolo grape.

For those who were wondering, "trifulau" is the Italian term for a professional truffle hunter - a person who searches high and low through the hills for hidden, delicious gold. Much like what Linnaea has unearthed here.
